Whenever we experience a lot of adrenaline, we get energized, manic, on fire.

And then, after the event or incident or idea that caused that adrenaline surge plays out, we experience the opposite—what goes up, must come down.

If you are feeling somewhat "blah" right now, or like you can't get your energy together, or like you just want to curl up in a little nest, it can be useful to recall what we've all just gone through.

The election has been a very big energy surge. We are still feeling the effects.

Whether you participate or didn't, voted or didn't, cared or didn't—the energy still affects you. We all, as part of collective soul are affected.

Now, what most of us are feeling—is the dropping away of that energy.Even if your side "won" (remembering that one side can't win until both sides win), you're still feeling it.

The adrenaline surge is over. Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the cycle has been broken.

We're back to real life, whatever that is. Will things get better? Will things get worse?These are not the questions to be asking, today.

For today, what's most important is to let yourself feel what everyone is feeling: hitting the wall, needing to rest and recover.
